Gonshar exposed rats to 2.4 GHz, 7 hours/day for 30 days and studied the effect on the levels of alkaline phosphatase and glycogen (two indicators of cellular activity) in the neutrophils (12). Glycogen increased following 3 days’ exposure at both 10 and 50 µW/cm2; after 7 days’ exposure it decreased to the control level. In contrast to this apparent adaptational response, there was a sustained depressing effect on glycogen content at 500 µW/cm2 which was still observed after 30 days’ exposure. At all three intensities, the alkaline phosphatase levels first increased then decreased below the control level within 30 days.

Meda (9) found a Iymphocyte decrease and a neutrophil and eosinophil increase in rats after a single 6-hour exposure to 100 kv/m, 50 Hz. A similar blood picture was found in mice after 500- and 1000-hour exposures to 100 kv/m (9). A significant increase in WBC was found in rabbits that had been exposed to 50 kv/m, 50 Hz, for 3 months (14). As has been the case with almost all biological indicators, the time course of the changes in blood parameters following EMF exposure was not the same in each test animal (11). Guinea pigs were exposed to 3GHz, 10 min/day, for 30 days (11), and both the irradiated and the sham-exposed animals were sampled before and after each daily exposure bout.

The sham-exposed group revealed no significant changes, but animals exposed to 25 or 50 µW/cm2 exhibited EMF-induced alterations with time dependencies that differed with each animal. For a given exposure duration, the WBC was above the normal level in some animals, and below it in others; as a result, the average values varied little during the study. At 500 µW/cm2, however, even on the average there was a pronounced leukopenia and Iymphocytosis.

Changes have been reported in the cellular composition of the blood of rats, mice, dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits following exposure to both high and low frequency EMFs (7-15). Graves (7) exposed mice continuously to 25 and 50 kv/m for 6 weeks and found that the white blood cell count (WBC) was increased by 20% and 66% respectively. The red blood cell count (RBC) decreased by 6% and 12% at the respective fields, but these changes were not reported statistically significant.

Rats exposed intermittently (30 min/day) to 100 kv/m, 50° Hz, for 8 weeks, exhibited elevated neutrophil levels and depressed Iymphocyte levels (8). The same results were found following 2, 5, and 7 weeks’ exposure at 5 hours/day. In dogs, alteration of the blood profile was seen following exposure at 10-25 kv/m (8).

Ten.) POLICE RADIOS – peace officers now have antennas on their microphones, also have an identical risk to that of cell telephone users since the antenna is found close to the head. There’s also radiation from the antennas on their automobiles, too. Eleven). WALKIE-TALKIE TYPE RADIOS – In decades past, business radios operated in the lower VHF band. These were known as business band radios, and are still in use today. No known unwell effects are known to have originated from these radios. Today’s family channel radios operate in the 400Mhz UHF band, near Television channel fourteen. Twelve) Doorway OPENERS – Frequently employed in grocery and cut price stores, these open the doorway when you pass under a microwave motion detector. You pass at once under the unit when you enter or exit the store, receiving more microwave radiation.

Thirteen.) SECURITY FOR STORES – employed in WalMart, video rental and other stores, these exit portals generate an RF field you are compelled to walk thru on entering and exiting the store.The square “Be Kind Please Rewind” tag is frequently a tuned published circuit behind the label, that might trigger the safety system when passed thru a portal at the exit. Libraries employ a terribly similar system with thin resonanting devices slipped into the backbone of books. These systems operate in the lower microwave band, permitting the employment of tiny coils ( or no coils at all ) thanks to the high frequencies employed.

Fourteen. CELL TOWERS – Last but not least, cell tower antennas which operate at power levels of ten watts FOR EACH ANTENNA on the tower. Some use higher wattage than that. These directional antennas divide a geographical area into cells of service. There are a few more toys, products and devices too many to say here. We are dunked in a virtual ocean of RF energy, with cell towers as one of the strongest continuing sources of RF energy.

Nine.) SATELLITES – Walk outside, anywhere, and you’ll be inundated with RF from satellites, both civilian and army. If you might visibly “see” these sources, you would see points of “light” from the 22,500 mile high Clarke belt of still satellites. This belt of satellites rise from the western horizon and arcs across the sky to the east. There also will be loads of moving lights in the sky from lower geosynchronous orbits. A number of these are also satellites the army uses that send signals to earth, too. Many army satellites have high-powered optical sensors, with great telephoto lenses that watch everything from orbit.

These satellites orbit about two hundred miles up and in contrast to public belief, can basically read a paper title from orbit. The portrayal of distant fuzzy pictures as seen in “Patriot Games” is some distance from the truth. And these satellites bombard the earth with additional RF radiation as they send their information to earth.

One) CELL Telephones – Here the antenna is extremely near to the brain, and many studies have been done on this. Current studies done in Europe show that growths can be prompted in rats, which are exposed to the same power levels and distances that ordinary cell telephone users are from the telephone’s antenna.

Two) CORDLESS Telephones – in truth, these are as negative as cell telephones because they operate close to the microwave frequencies of cell telephones ( microwave. ) in many ways, they may be worse than cell telephones because many folks spend more time on these.

Three) GARAGE DOOR OPENERS – A source of radiation when the button is pressed.

Four.) WIRELESS PDAs and NOTEBOOK PCs – These work much like cell telephones, with the same potential effects.

Five). MICROWAVE ALARM SYSTEM SENSORS – This is one area no-one talks about. These are common in houses and companies. Though the power level is in the microwatt realm, one may sit exposed to it all day, each day, sometimes only a couple of feet away. Again, mull it over re exposure time vs. Energy levels.

The results of microwaved food on the immune mechanism are basically unexplored by conventional science, but are fairly well known by those that suffer from them. In fact, Diathermy treatments work on the same principle that microwave ovens operate on, except that microwave ovens use higher power levels and higher frequencies. Later on after Diathermy became favored, it was discovered that higher RF frequencies permitted heating at a distance, without direct electrode contact. The tale about the microwave stove invention is that it was found by accident, by an engineer working in an electronics lab.

He found the radiation from the plant softened a candy bar in his pocket. Amana is credited with building and selling the 1st usually available range – the famous RadarRange. The discovery reminds one of the sticky-note origin story. Another random discovery – found whilst 3M was making an attempt to make a better adhesive. For a few years, everybody treated microwaves as nada to be nervous about. No-one learned from the teachings of Madam and Pierre Curie who tinkered with radium a century gone, and died from radiation poisoning. Remember the comparison of RF with radioactiviting above ? Some years ago, a person walked past the front of a phone relay dish on the roof of a building.

He suffered no immediate unwell effects, but died some days later in the hospice as his organs started to fail. His organs had soaked up the microwave radiation, and were permanently and fatally damaged. He was fundamentally cooked and failed to know it. If he has walked past a satisfactory quantity of Plutonium, the same would happen but in an other way. He’d have still died.

It is usually considered that any frequency above TV channel 83 is microwave. There’s a “fuzzy” line between microwave and non-microwave radio signals. In truth, the higher channels of the UHF band in America are thought to be the near microwave band. Radio signals operating with short wavelengths measured in centimeters, can increase the temperature of water and tissues at a distance. Though most of the people compare this only with microwave ovens, this effects occurs at lower frequencies. Complicated proteins present in blood also break down into poisonous materials. These invisible, toxic compounds may cause skyrocketing muscle, joint and nerve agony in folk over time as poisons build up in the body. Many of us have put their microwave ovens on the curb, when they discovered their agony was linked to microwaved food.

Decades gone, folks could go to a doctor for aches and pains and be treated with a Diathermy machine. This machine was basically a shortwave radio transmitter, and operated with a curved antenna that fits the human body. When placed against the skin, the antenna radiated energy that was soaked up deep in the body’s tissues. A sufficient power level of RF energy will cause currents of electricity to flow in these tissues, thus making heat. These machines are likely outlawed by this time and died a quiet death in America. RF energy causes molecules to collide with each other making heat. This happens in tisuues like muscles, as well as blood. FM stations ( found in the radio band near TV channel six ) and over the air TV channels two thru thirteen are all in the VHF band. These signals can also pass thru the human body without harm.

These waves are measured in several feet. When you look at any Television antenna, multiply the width of the antenna by 4, which will be the wavelength of the wave from the Television transmitter. Thus the term [*FR3] wavelength, which is a design rule for most antennas. TV channels fourteen thru 83 are in the UHF area. Channel 83 is basically just below analog cell telephone frequencies. Progammable police scanners scan police channels that are terribly close to cell telephone frequencies. ( Privacy laws force scanners to dam the cell telephone band. ) WHERE DOES MICROWAVE BEGIN ? We are now entering the realm where RF starts to affect the human body at a distance.

THE RF Range – WHAT DIFFERENT RF FREQUENCIES DO TO THE HUMAN BODY For our EU chums, please note that all of the frequencies referenced below are for the Yankee and Canadian radio range. The lowest frequencies are radio waves, that are essentially the same as frequencies as the audio sound which comes out of your speakers. This called VLF, or Really Low Frequency. These waves have wavelengths measured in thousands of miles.

They pass through the body without damage. Commercial AM radio signals, use waves that are also quite long and pass thru the body with relative ease. These are also waves, whose wavelengths are measured in lots of feet. Shortwave signals are also exceedingly long, and this part of the range reaches up to part of the miltary band, located below Television channel two.
